Car Burglaries in Ladera Ranch

By Don Juan Ortega, on January 25th, 2013

First, someone was tampering with the mail. Now, they are burglarizing cars. Is it just us, or is crime on the rise in Ladera Ranch?

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department would like to make residents of Ladera Ranch aware of a series recent incidents involving thefts from unlocked cars.

On Wednesday, January 23, 2013, deputies were dispatched to the Winfield, Calm Creek Circle, Skywood, Winslow and Hempstead Streets. Nine residents reported their unlocked cars had been opened and iPods, iPads, lap top computers, gift cards, cash and wallets were stolen. Residents are strongly encouraged not to leave valuables in the cars and to lock their cars when left unattended.

If you see something or someone suspicious, call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department non-emergency line at 949-770-6011 or report anonymously through Orange County Crime Stoppers 1-855-TIP-OCCS or online at occrimestoppers.org.

Be safe and vigilant!
